“FAO” warns of locust invasion of several areas in Yemen

NEW YORK, Aug. 18 (YPA) – The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned Thursday of the breeding of desert locust swarms in parts of the interior regions of Yemen in the coming days.

The organization indicated that there are some groups of adult swarms in Wadi Hadramout, in addition to the spread of adult and immature insects in the interior regions and adult and immature insects on the eastern coast of the country.

The locust crisis continues to escalate in Yemen as a result of the arrival of many swarms and their movement from one place to another in light of the limited means of control and the increasing dangers of the continuous invasion of desert locusts in particular and their threat to the sources of food security in the country.
